Numbers 5:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.

Every man's hallowed things shall be his, х wª'iysh (H376) 'et (H854) qaadaashaayw (H6944)]; Septuagint, hekastou ta heegiasmena]. This refers most probably not to sacrifices, whether voluntary or vowed, but to other votive offerings, not of a sacrificial character, such as the tithe, or consecration of a house, etc. The limitation of the statement to such cases as these is obvious-because these offerings were the portion of the priests, while sacrifices were, in special parts, devoted to God, while the remainder, reserving a portion only to the priest, was given to the offerer.
